Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-scrollbars] `scrollbar-width` should support custom measurements (#6263)

different situations need different sizes. Think of someone using the foot vs. a 90 year old person, it mostly depends on vision and motion capabilities.
Also the size of the screen etc.

E.g. take me, as a software developer, I have a 43" Monitor with very small fonts, but I like to scroll with scrollbars, because it's faster and you can move the thumb directly to a target position (and I have content summary bars beneath scroll bars, e.g. the text itself, with git status etc.).
On a large screen you need a bigger landing area, but also not too big (the 32 is very big for me, I use 16 usually, but nowadays all think 8 is enough, well, that might be ok for a notebook with 13").

I know an old guy who has good vision, but got some trembling hands, which make it difficult to grab something smaller. He also doesn't like to scroll with a mouse wheel, he would constantly swipe pages up and down. Some people suggest to zoom the whole screen, but he says he isn't blind.

I could add quite a few more examples...
